I realized yesterday after looking over the blog posts, that we really haven’t posted many pictures post children…So here’s more!
This is the view of the ’beach’ from our apartment. Not bad, huh? Then there is the view of the apartment building from the beach, and a close up of the building. We really wanted you to get a really good look at it. This is the typical looking apartment building in Cherkassay and Kiev. Some look better than others, but most are just like this- built in the Soviet era.

Woo! Papa’s got chocolate! Don’t worry, Nonnie- it’s nutrition bites!
We had a blanket laid out by the fence of the orphanage. The boys were practically glued to the fence as they watched people and ‘machineas’ go by.
Anna & Warren playing in the tub of water with floating plastic fish. Warren splashed so much, the “Mama’ of their group took off their shirts and socks & shoes. That just left their ill-fitting underwear (Nick rolled his eyes when he saw that). Me & the kids sit to watch the puppet show.

Not bad at all! The beach looks pretty nice. Hope you’re safely back in Kiev with your children. The next few days will be a whirlwind. May the Lord bless you with safe travels and smooth transitions at the airports. We’ll continue to pray for all of you!
